《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 894. One Can Only Grow With Experience
Advertisement
At this moment, the Holy Flame that Fearless sent out slowly drifted and found its target as he landed squarely on Treasure Hunter Goblin’s head.
“Attack!”
Seeing that Treasure Hunter Goblin had triggered the flame trap and was silenced, Fearless immediately signaled the rest to attack. The players immediately began their assault.
Treasure Hunter Goblin was so crafty and devious. As he saw that the situation turning grave, he flashed out the dagger that he had previously stolen away from Frost Blade. First, he hacked away at the leg that was being tangled. Next, he clutched his chest in his arms and with only one foot, he sped away in the distance.
Although he had only one foot and his speed had decreased significantly from its peak state, his speed was still not what most players could hope to match. In the blink of an eye, the incoming player attacks were easily dodged by Treasure Hunter Goblin.
“Clack…”
There was the sonorous sound of traps getting activated in the distance. The players saw that Treasure Hunter Goblin was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Treasure Hunter Goblin simply looked like a fool in his sorry state when he was encapsulated in a thick block of ice.
Wang Yu swiftly went up to him and with one smooth motion, he smashed apart the ice sculpture. He also shattered Treasure Hunter Goblin’s other remaining leg to prevent any chance of escape.
“We caught it just like that?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire’s expression turned 180 degrees instantly as his heart welled up with happiness and some surprise. Treasure Hunter Goblin was there before him beaten and broken, akin to a dead dog.
Although Treasure Hunter Goblin other attributes were rubbish, his speed was too godlike. As what Fearless had mentioned before, if Treasure Hunter Goblin did not actively want to be captured, no one could even touch him.
Thinking about it, this made sense because Treasure Hunter Goblin was a sentient NPC after all. Even an ordinary boss would not be so foolish.

However, Fearless had actually thought of an ingenious idea to use a bait. This was to force Treasure Hunter Goblin into action instead of passively running around. Fearless had indeed a fearsome strategic mind. He could think of such a ploy under pressuring circumstances.
In particular, the traps placements and type were so well thought out. Fearless could even anticipate Treasure Hunter Goblin’s escape route. Was this man still a human?
With one super strong skilled martial artist, coupled with a strategic genius… Adding on to that with a group of expert players, Quan Zhen Sect was truly a force to be reckoned with. It was no coincidence that Quan Zhen Sect could match all the other powerful guilds in Twilight City.
Thinking back on the time when he wanted to bully Quan Zhen Sect to make a name for himself, Captain Don’t Open Fire shivered in fear at that thought.
“Is there any problem Captain Don’t Open Fire?” Fearless walked towards Goblin’s side and retrieved the sealed treasure chest and replied, “I have used the treasure chest, after all. Your gold coins were not wasted.”
“No… I don’t mean it that way…” Captain Don’t Open Fire quickly waved away his prior worries.
Captain Don’t Open Fire was thoroughly convinced by Fearless’ methods. He did not dare harp on the issue of money…
Captain Don’t Open Fire was a businessman at heart, he wanted something to be done properly when he paid for it. On the basis of Quan Zhen Sect’s might, even if their prices were high, their assistance was worth every penny.
“If there is no problem, go and collect the goods!” Fearless chuckled and gave way to Captain Don’t Open Fire.
As the leader, Captain Don’t Open Fire had to be the one to collect whatever they needed from Treasure Hunter Goblin’s body.
Captain Don’t Open Fire approached Treasure Hunter Goblin cautiously and kicked him viciously to soothe the anger in his heart. He growled, “You garbage, not running now, are you?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire was trying to get back at Treasure Hunter Goblin for his previous insults. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye.
Surprisingly, Treasure Hunter Goblin did not display his indignation at all. He hugged tightly on Captain Don’t Open Fire’s thigh, with mucus and tears all over his face, he cried, “Hero, spare me, I will never dare to do it again.”
Treasure Hunter Goblin was worthy of being a sentient NPC. He could change his attitude in an instance and this performance was enough to move the hearts of the players.
“Hmm?”
It was Captain Don’t Open Fire first time in dealing with such an awkward situation, he turned back and glanced at Fearless.
This kind of behaviour was expected out of a sentient BOSS. Fearless’s intentions were just to swiftly kill off the BOSS and not pay any more attention to it. Ming Du quickly interjected, “What benefits can you give us if we decide to spare you?”
“As long as you spare me, I can give you all the prized treasures in my sack!” As soon as he saw a way out, Treasure Hunter Goblin quickly tempted them with such an offer.
“Is that the case?” Ming Du smiled lightly and nodded, “That is fine but you’ll have to give us the treasures first.”
“Here… For you.” Treasure Hunter Goblin brought down the sack on his back and passed it to Ming Du. “Is this even possible?”
Seeing that Ming Du had actually bargained with the BOSS, Captain Don’t Open Fire had once again opened his horizons.
After Ming Du pocketed the sack, he had a total change in his expression. He waved his staff and violently struck it down on the vulnerable Goblin. Goblin was instantly smashed into a heap of blood.
“This… What is the meaning of this?” Ming Du had suddenly moved and struck Goblin, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
Ming Du coldly replied, “He lied to me once, I lied to him this time, now we are even!”
“Are you not afraid that the BOSS system won’t pursue this matter?” Captain Don’t Open Fire had never seen such a daring player.
Although the game allowed players to kill steal and pillage, it was also a game with certain rules.
“Them pursuing the matter?” Fearless smiled indifferently as used his staff and pointed to Treasure Hunter Goblin hand and executed a spell.
[Hidden Curse]: Completely removes a divine weapon item in 200 seconds (Not available for Quest Item)
Ming Du also proceeded to empty the contents of Goblin’s sack on the floor.
Treasure Hunter Goblin truly did not live up to his name. He was more like a scavenger than a treasure hunter. Most of his loots were worthless.
Captain Don’t Open Fire saw the mess on the ground and finally understood…
At his death door, Goblin still wanted to lie. Luckily, Ming Du had unhesitatingly killed him off or he would have been cheated off by him again.
Sure enough, a smart BOSS was too unreliable.
“How did you know he did not have anything good in his sack?” Captain Don’t Open Fire could not help but ask.
Fearless replied, “Nonsense, if you have no ability other than to run, will you still run around carrying things that are valuable?”
“That makes sense!” Captain Don’t Open Fire nodded his head and said, “Why do I feel that you are so experienced in this aspect?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire also realised at this point that, no matter how cunning the NPCs were in this dungeon, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect did not fall for their tricks at all.
Wang Yu let out a long sigh and started rambling on philosophically, “Only through experiences can one grow. During this process of growth, it comes at the price of countless tears.”

The Fabled Islands
Somewhere out there, in the great expanse of space and time, exist the Fabled Islands. Nobody knows how or why they exist, but only that it is a strange and special place that operates under laws separate from the universe. The Fabled Islands are made up of vast floating continents. They vary in size, with some ranging from the surface area of a small planet, to a star. If you look at them from afar, you would find that they are placed in a line. Each island is separated by a vast amount of space, so there is only one way to travel from one island to the next; a gateway on the edge of the island. Each island is governed by strange rules. The only thing they share in common, is that the rules are governed by the System. The rules change vastly from one island to the next, so you must quickly adapt. Tristan was raised on the first island, Fertility Island, and has finally been allowed to become a Brave; a respected profession throughout the islands. Fertility Island is a peaceful island. There are hardly any monsters, the land is fertile, and the people kind. This is the complete opposite of what Tristan wants. Bring on the monsters! Bring on the magical items! I want adventure, loot, and to put my life on the line! Where are the dungeons, caverns, and mountains to be explored? Where is the mythical equipment to be found? The next island? Then the next island I will go! His adventure begins now.

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!
